Contextual admissions
Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.
When we consider an application we take into account a wide range of information, including the context in which an applicant has gained their qualifications, work experience (paid or unpaid), extra-curricular activities and personal circumstances. A number of our applicants offer a combined portfolio or additional qualifications and these will also be taken into account. In some instances, we may make an alternative offer which will differ from the published grades.
